Installing jQuery

programming
1

I’ve downloaded JDK w/ NetBeans IDE, Apache Ant, and the jQuery script but when I run it, it doesn’t install.
How do you build it?
Their site just says “download JDK, Ant, and build jQuery to start using it”. I’m lost.

Edit: I think I have to set Ant up somehow, but don’t understand it’s doc.
http://ant.apache.org/manual/
Installing Ant > Installing Ant > Setup

you don’t install jquery … it’s just an include from html, that you define in the head of ur html …


<script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript" /></script>

What the heck is that?

I’m so confused… I installed JDK, Netbeans, and have been fist fighting Ant all day… just so I’d be able to make a pretty jQuery tooltip.

I’m freaking out. If I wasn’t at work I’d have busted my face open on the desk by now.

Edit: Wait a tick. If all I want is a tooltip; and jQuery is just some header ref. link; and it’s ok to use other site’s code then… Bwahaha!

I can’t see what you’re linking their site is down. But I don’t need to. It sounds as if those are the minimum requirements for a server … just include the include the javascript file in the head.

Ok, let me try this…

Edit: omg… Search for “jquery tooltip best web” and got this: http://bestwebgallery.com/category/extras/
3rd link down…
lol, it wasn’t even his script…

Btw, thank you very much Simplistik.
I really appreciate all the help you give me.

Think you guys might be talking about 2 different things. I think there is a jQuery for Java and one for JavaScript and they are unrelated.

I know … I linked the site he got the script from in the original post …

Nice script.
I see why his bestwebgall mainbar is on the leftside though… the thumbnails overflow to the right (if you leave it default)

I guess I’ll add 2 scripts for links on the right side and links in the middle. :\

Edit: ^ Does that mean I’m thinking like a Java script kiddie?

Yeah I’m an idiot. :angel:

So essentially, jQuery is kinda like a simplified version of JavaScript?

Edit: Oh teehee, I’m learning stuff. I feel so giddy. It reminds me of AS.
